US Citizenship Quiz

[Zoid]

How much do YOU know about Teh US? According to MSNBC these are some of the hard questions asked by INS...

I got 80% correct and failed the test by one lousy question...

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

Yay. Had to guess few though. Other than that, pretty easy. That said, I know more about it than most Americans because I know about the train robbing indians, I know their scalping ways of white women and I know about the Boston teabagging.

Hehe. I miseed 3, 8, 13 and 18. But I blame Teh Bush for failing on the last one...

[DRoseDARs]

Anyway, I got 100% but I really had to strain my brain on the original 13 colonies and which amendment didn't address voting rights. I guessed on which form to use.

You DanS'ed my correction there...

85%. Can I have the citizenship now please?

I missed 8 - I can identify only the first and second amendments thanks to the internets, 19 because it's a stupid question and 20 because I didn't read the question properly, so technically I should get a 90%.

I misread their question, thinking they were asking for the total, not just in that chamber. Ce la vie, either way we were both correct in our answers.

90%, I fumbled with the last one and picked the option that's actually quoting the Preamble, I think. The original 13 colonies is pretty easy if you can exclude certain options (it has to be one with New Hampshire, DC isn't even a state, etc.). I guessed the INS form right and I had no idea about the voting rights amendments.

[MikeH]

I got 65%, and I have never studied any of the things they were asking about.

Indeed. But I wouldn't have got it without the multiple choice. INS doesn't do multiple choice

100%

I'm a real American

[Shrapnel12]

I missed two (90%). I missed #3 because I don't care to remember dates and I missed #8 because I just didn't know. I merely guessed 19 correct. Why would any born citizen know that? Why would that be on the test? Wouldn't that form already be filled out by then? If you don't know the correct form to fill out to be a citizen you're a bad American!

I have to be honest, I did as well as I did more because the wrong answers were so absurd, then because I knew the right answers. I'd have sucked if it wasn't multiple choice.

We've had this thread before. I got one question wrong. I think it was about which form immigrants need to use or something.

[DinoDoc]

95% for me. Missed the 8th one.
